Jax's Longest Operating BBQ Joints

The South is known for great barbecue and Jacksonville's restaurants are no exception. Here's 8 Jacksonville BBQ joints that have been serving up the cuisine longer than the average person may expect.

1. Cotten's Bar-B-Q - 1986

Cotten’s Bar-B-Q in Arlington has been serving faithful diners since 1986. However, don't confuse this Rogero Road joint with the Fred Cotten's on Main Street. It's a completely separate entity founded by Fred Cotten Jr., son of Fred Cotten, Sr., that has carved out its own outstanding reputation among longtime Jaxsons.
